In Paying the Pastor, Beaty argues that traditional practices of paying clergy are not supported by the Bible and are therefore unscriptural. He challenges the prevalent belief that pastors should receive a full-time salary, and instead contends that the biblical model is for pastors to be bivocational or receive voluntary donations.
